Abraham prays to God and God heals Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants so they can have children again. The healing comes through Abraham's prayer — the prophet who caused the problem prays for its resolution. The barrenness that fell on the household while Sarah was there is lifted when Sarah is returned. The application: God uses Abraham to heal what Abraham's failure damaged — not because Abraham deserves the role but because the role is God's gift, not Abraham's achievement.
